real

[Chorus] I don't wanna talk I just wanna sleep it off So I can go to bed Pretend that this will somehow end I don't wanna talk I just wanna sleep it off So I can go to bed But I know that this will never end [Verse 1] I was in Temple, Texas And I took an exit to a gas station, stopped the car Saw a young man, wearing black Vans Kinda looked like me from afar He said, "Joe, I would die for you, bro Man, you a legend, I hope that you know I got your logo tattooed on my throat I stayed out hours waiting for your show You do it all even with the anxiety And honestly, that is inspiring With all the depression you put on yourself and from others That shit must get tiring" I told him "Thanks" and I drove home Going 95 in a 55 I don't wanna let him down now Tryna be strong, but I don't know how [Chorus] I don't wanna talk I just wanna sleep it off So I can go to bed Pretend that this will somehow end I don't wanna talk I just wanna sleep it off So I can go to bed But I know that this will never end [Verse 2] So what will it take for this broken brain? Will I go insane? Will I be the same? Will I win this game? I don't know Facing an army of fear on my own Reading reviews of my songs in my bed I lie and I say it won't get to my head Defining myself by a stranger's opinion The people around me tell me not to listen So you wanted real? Now I'm bein' it I don't wanna keep on feeling this You don't know what I've been dealing with You don't know what I've been dealing with I put all this pain in the music But every night on this stage I'm reliving it Had a panic attack every day for a year Gave me pills, I know there was no fixing it Yeah, 'cause me and mental health go way back Thought it went away but it came back Either way, I know I got to try and face that It's how I am but I wish that I could change that [Chorus] I don't wanna talk I just wanna sleep it off So I can go to bed Pretend that this will somehow end I don't wanna talk I just wanna sleep it off So I can go to bed But I know that this will never end
